The girl group stands out amongst all the other Korean artists trying to invade the Japanese music market when their all-Korean album broke the 100k barrier in sales.

On the 3rd, KARA’s Japanese agency revealed that the group’s Korean greatest hits album has surpassed 100,000 copies in sales after barely 2 months of release since the end of September. The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) has certified the sales digits, making KARA the first Korean group since the ’90s to perform this feat.

This is quite remarkable since the album contains 100% Korean songs, virtually proving KARA’s high popularity in Japan. It also further rises expectations for KARA’s second Japanese single, Jumping, and first original album, Girls Talk, due for release on November 11 and November 24, respectively.
